ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS AIPABATUS FOR COLORING PAPER This invention relates in general to the manufacture of paper, and, more particular- 1y, to the manufacture of colored paper, the -invention including improvements in the process of and apparatus for coloring paper during the process of manufacture, though it will be understood that the apparatus may be employed for coloring paper after the saine has been calendered. n

This invention finds particular utility for the purpose of coloring parts of newspaper so as to make it possible to employv a color sheet for ,the outside page of certain editions of a daily newspaper and without coloring the inside pages thereof.

described and il- While the invention is lustrated as particularly employed for coloring one side of, or a portion of one side of, a sheet or web of paper in the course of manufacture, it` will beunderstood that the invention finds utility for analogous purposes and, therefore, is applicable to a wide field of utility. Y

The principal objects and advantages of this invention reside in the provision, in the manufacture of paper, of the improved step of coloring the paper or a portion thereof during manufacture; the provision of a process of manufacturing paper and for coloring the same prior to drying or calendering, that is, while the paper is still moist; the provision of an improved apparatus for carrying out the process of this invention; theprovision of an improved means for coloring one side or a portion of one side of a sheet of paper during course of manufacture, more particularly while the paper is being fed at a substantially uniform rate of speed during the coloring application; the provision of improved Aapparatus of the character referred to which may be employed in conjunction with the regular paper-making machine, and which is adapted to receive and conduct the .web

' of moist paper and color'the same immediately after it leaves the paper-making machine; the provision of coloring apparatus, including a coloring delivering member and a series of coloring distributingmembers operating in conjunction with a transfer member for depositing a film or coating of color on a moving web evenly and j positively; and the provision of an improved apparatus of the character referred to, which is simple in lconstruction, readily adjustable, and which is positive in its. operation. f

This invention is also characterized by the provision of an improved arrangement of li uid coloring delivery and distributing mem ers in which these elements may be adjusted so as to regulate the quantity of coloring Huid delivered, and so as to insure a uniform. unfailing supply when once set; the provision ofa device of the character described in which a liquid coloring delivering roller is maintained in contact with a dis- -tributing roller acted upon by spreading a moving web4 of material, and wherein the movingweb and the said delivering and distributing rollers are synchronously operated at a substantially uniform`- speed, together wipoh the improved feeding means for the we This invention further has as objects thereof the provision of improved supporting and adjusting means for the entire apparatus, that is, the coating apparatus, so as to permit of truing up the coloring transfer roller; the provision of an improved .arrangement for longitudinally displacing the spreader rollers,l the provision of an V'improved spreader for the film ofn coloring fluid; and the provision of an improvedv adjusting means therefor.l

The foregoing and such other .objects and advantages of this invention as may appear or be pointed out as this description'p'roceeds are attained inv the structural embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: l

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of apparatus constructed in accordance withthe present invention; j

Figure 2 is an enlarged top plan, parts being broken away;

Figure 3 is an enlarged side elevational view;

Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view takenon the line 4 4 of Figure 2 looking in the direction indicated by 'the arrows;

Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary plan elevational view illustrating the supply tank and roller arrangement;

Figure 6 is an enlarged fragmentary View of the spreader adjusting means, and y Figure 7 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of a portion of the iu'id. 'supply tank and spreader means.

The method or process of this invention resides particularly in the step of applying coloring material to one side of a sheet or4 web of paper in the course of its manufacture, and preferably after it leaves the papermaking machine but prior yto its iinal drying 0r calendering. The application of color maybe carried out during the step of calendering. It is preferable that this application of coloring material be carried out prior to the drying of the paper, for the reason that a more even distribution of coloring material over the surface to which it is applied may be attained, and, at the same time, attain a fixed color, for the reason that the moisture in the paper causes the coloring material to be absorbed to a certain extent by one side of the web or pa er. The step in the process of the manu acture of paper, that is, the application of color to one side of a portion of the web of paper, may be carried out by the apparatus disclosed in the accompanying drawings.

By reference herein to newspaper work it is pointed out Ithat special editions of newspapers today have the outside pages of the edition pink or green or some, other color to make the front page stand out. Previously to our invention all newspapers known to us having this feature merely employed a different colored paper from the rest of the edition and this resulted in not only the outside front page being colored but the inside of this page and the inside and outside of the back page which it forms an integral part of. In this invention it is possible to color the sheet so that only the front page contains the distinctive coloring.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, and first to Figure 1, we have illustrated a series 5 of rollers arranged in superposed spaced relation, over which the web 6 of paper, such as newspaper, is carried, lthese rollers being arranged in a pair Of pedestals 7, only one of which appears in this figure. The web passes alternately over the rollers 5 and is delivered on to a shaft 8 to form a roll 9, the shaft 8 being mounted in suitable bearings 10.

One of the series 5 of rollers, indicated at 11, has the web of paper passing thereove'r so as to have one surface exposed toward the apparatus of this invention, indicated in general at 12.

' The apparatus 12 includes among other parts to be presently described, a base p0rtion 13 provided with the pairs of lugs 14 a'nd 15 suitably apertured to receive rods 16 as a supporting means therefor, said rods being carried by brackets 17 mounted on the pedestals 7. Set screws 18, '18 pass through the apertured lugs-14 and 15 so as to fix the base 13 at an initial position of adjustment toward or away from the pedestals 7.

On the base 13 We-mount a carriage which includes the side walls 19 and 20 suitably spaced at fixed points by the provision of transverse tie rods 21, 22 and 23. These tie rods are provided with reduced extremities,

as indicated at 24, 24 in Figure 2, and pass through suitable apertures in the side walls 19 and 20, and cap screws 25, 25 in each instance engage washers 26, 26, said cap screws passing into the reduced extremities of the tie rods, which fixes the side Walls at the proper distance apart.

The bottom edges of the side walls 19 and 20, as best seen in Figures 3 and 4, rest upon the base 13, and said base is provided with marginal flanges 27 and 28, thus forming a run-way or slide for the carriage.

The carriage is susceptible of slight angular displacement in the run-way thus formed by allowing a small margin of space between the outer surfaces of the side Walls 19 and 20 and the inner surfaces of the flanges 27 and 28 so as to insure the transfer roller making true, uniform contact with the exposed surfaces of the web passing over the roller 11. The flanges 27 and 28 are aiixed to the edges of the base 13 by the provision of cap screwsv 29, 29.

In order to adjust the carriage to and from the roller 1l on the base 13 we provide bearing members 30 and 31 secured by bolts 32 to the outer end of the base 13, and screw rods 33 and 34 are revolubly mounted in said bearings 30 and 31 and have their threaded portions 35 engaging suitably threaded apertures in lugs 36 bolted, as at 37, on the side walls 19 and 2O of the carriage. Hand wheels 38 and 39 may be employed for imparting rotation to the adjusting screw rods 33 and 34 for moving the carriage to and from the roller 11 or for canting the carriage one way or the other lso as to true up the transfer roller, which will be presently described.

The carriage serves to support a contalner or tank 40, in which a suitable coloring or other fluid is deposited, said tank having a bottom wall which is curved upwardly, as

indicated at 41, to form a support for the spreader structure to be described later,and the side walls 42 of said tank may be suitably secured to the Walls 19 and 20 of the carriage in such position that the tank is disposed below the coloring fluid delivery roller 43. This roller 43 is preferably metallic, truly cylindrical, and is mounted on shaft 44 carried in suitable bearings in the side walls 19 and 20 of the carriage. The end faces of the roller 43 are substantially in contact with lateral flanges 45 and 46 formed on the top edges of the side walls 42 of the tank so that, as said roller rotates ,in the direction of the arrow rod in Figure 4, these flanges 45 and 46 will remove fluid from the ends of the roller.

The rear wall 47 of the tank is spaced from the adjacent surface of the roller 43,

and`a hinged cover 48 is provided for filling the tank when necessary. It will be observed from an inspection of Figures 4 and 5 that the rear edges of the flanges 45 and 46 and the front edge of the cover 48 are spaced from the adjacent surfaces of the roller 43, as indicated at 45al and 46a, so as to prevent the creation of pressure in the tank and thus result in undue agitation of the fluid contained therein. The coloring fluid delivery roller 43 picks up a quantity of the coloring fluid on its cylindrical face and, in order to produce a uniform film of coloring fluid on the cylindrical surface of the roller 43, we provide a spreader which does not actually contact with the surface of the roller, though it may be made to so contact, but which is spaced a slight distance away from the cylindrical surface and will thus maintain a film on this surface which is substantially uniform throughout.

The spreader referred to comprises, as best shown in Figures 4, 6, and 7, a supportin casting or frame 50 secured to the upwar ly extending portion 41 Vof the bottom wall of the tank. This frame 50 serves to support an end closing wall member 51 which is secured by screws 52 thereto and 4 extends toward the roller 43. Between the member 50 and the wall 51 there is provided the spreader 53 which is conveniently an elongated metallic strip of resilient character which is held rigidly at one end between the wall 51 and the member 50, its movement limited by said wall in one direction, but is free to move toward thef cylindrical surfaces of the roller 43yby a mechanism which will now be described.

As it is sometimes desirable that the spreader be closer to the roller at some points than others, throughout its length, we provide a plurality of adjusting element-s which include rocker arms 54, 54 mounted on a common shaft 55 carried in bearings 56 on the outer` or upper'surface of the cnd Wall 51. As all of these rocker'arms are substa-ntially identical, a description of but one will suflice, reference for this purpose being best had to Figure 7 wherein the parts are shown enlarged. Under one end of the rocker arm 54 there is provided a pin- 56 which is slidable in a suitable aperture provided beneath the rocker arm in the wall 51 so that when the rocker arm presses on the pin 56, that portionof the resilient spreader strip 53 adjacent thereto will be deflected toward the cylindrical surfaces of the roller 43. In order to produce this movement, there is provided a complemental rod 57 which is slidable in suitably aligned aper tures formed beneath the opposite ends of the complemental'rocker arm in the members 50 and 51. This rod extends below the bottom of the tank and may be provided with an enlarged threaded portion 58 and `a knurled portion 59, the threaded portion operating in threaded engagement with a lug 60 affixed to the bottom of the tank. Upon rotation of the rod 57 it will be caused to move longitudinally and thus impart movement to one end of the rocker arm 54 which, in turn, at its other end displaces the adjacent portion of the spreader. There are a series of the rocker arms, as already pointed out, and thus a very accurateadjustment of the spreader at substantially anyl` point throughout its length can be attained.

We provide a coloring fluid distributing roller 61 mounted in substantially the same plane as thelroller 43 but spaced therefrom and carried by and rotatable with a shaft 62 mounted in suitable bearings in the side walls 19 and 20 of the carriage.

The distributing roller 61 receives coloring fluid from the delivery roller 43 by the provision of an idler roller 63. The roller 61 is formed ofmetallic material similar to the roller 43,- but the roller 63 has its cylindrical surface at least, formed of rubber or similar yielding substance and is mounted in suitable angularly displaceable bearing members, 64, pivoted for such angular displacement at 65 on the side walls 19 and 20. Adjustment of the bearings 64 may be accomplished by 1nanipulat1on of the pairs of set screws 66 operating in lugs 67 carried by the said side walls. This adjustment insures that the idler roller will uniformly contact with the adjacent surfaces of both of the rollers 43 and 61 and thus transfer the film of coloring fluid uniformly to the roller 61. The side Walls 19 and 20 are recessed at their upper portions, as indicated at 68, so as to permit of the angular displacement of the bearings 64 and roller 63, as previously explained.

The roller 61 in turn contacts with a plurality of spreading rollers, three of which serve to carry out the function properly, and these are indicated at 69, these rollers being best seen from an inspection of Figure 4. The rollers 69 are made of the same general substances as the idler roller 63, that is, of rubber or other suitably resilient material, and are mounted as idling rollers, that is, are not driven other than by frictionalr` contact with the roller 61. vThese rollers 69 are mounted on suitable shafts 70, the outermost roller, indicated at 71, being mounted on a suitableshaft 71a, and the three rollers 69 and 71 being longitudinally slidable on their axes while in contact with the roller 61 for further distributing the coloring fluid thereon. The side wall 19 is provided with an opening 19a for accommodating the rollers 69 and 71 so that, as the rollers 69 are oscillated on their longitudinal axes, space will be provided for this purpose.

In orderto impart oscillating movement to the rollers 69, we provide a bracket 75 secured by cap screws or bolts 76 on the side walls 19, said bracket extending downwardly and outwardly. below the shafts of the rollers 69. The shafts 70 are provided with collars 77 and 78 having each a circumferential groove. On the bracket there is mounted a rocker arm 79 pivoted at 80 and having at each end a pin, these pins being indicated at 81 and 82 and lying in the grooves in the collars. The pins are provided with suitable small rollers so as to eliminate friction.

Oscillating Vmovement. is imparted to the collar 77 which, in turn, imparts similar movement in an opposite direction to the collar 78 and rocker arm 79 by the provision of a lever 83 iixedly secured tothe longitudinal shaft 84 mounted in bearings 85 and 86 on the side wall 19. The lever 83 is provided with a pin having a roller 87 thereon entering the groove in the collar 77, and a similar lever 88 is mounted on the shaft 84 and is provided with a roller 89 entering the groove on the collar 90 carried by the shaft 71a. It will be observed that upon y oscillation of the shaft 84 the three rollers will be caused to slide in their respective bearings. i

In order to impart oscillating movement to the shaft 84, a lever 91 extends upwardly from said shaft adjacent to the shaft 44 of the roller 43, and said lever is provided with a roller 92 entering a groovev 1n a collar 93 carried by theshaft 44, the groove in the collar 93 being tortuous so as to form a cam 93, as indicated at 95 in Figure 2. y

In order to impartv simultaneous motion to the delivery roller 43 and the distributing roller 61, the shafts 44 and 62, respectively, of these rollers are extended and provided with sprocket Wheels 94 and 95 connected by suitable roller 96.

The shaft 62 of the roller 61 may be extended at the opposite end and connected by a suitable means -to a source of power,

such as an electric'motor, or the like,.not

shown.

In order to transfer the coloring iuld C5 thus distributed on the roller 61 to the paper web, we provide a transfer roller 97 mounted on a shaft 98 carried in suitable bearings 99 projecting forwardly from the side walls 19; and 2O,A said roller 97 being formed of resilient material, such as rubber and the like, similar to the idler roller 63 and the oscillating distributing rollers 69 and 71. It Will be observed that by an adjustment of the carriage, the pressure of the roller 97 on the paper web, and its uniform contact with said web, may be attained. v

In the operation of the invention, Huid is picked up by the roller 43 and delivered to the idler roller 63 which conducts the fluid to the distributing roller61. In order to insure an even distribution of the Huid on .this roller 61, it is rotated in the same direction as the roller 43 and thus the lm of coloring fluid is acted upon by the'rollers 69 and 71, to be further distributed before it reaches the transfer roller 97, whereupon it is conducted by this roller to the exposed surface of the paper web.

It will be understood that the rollers 43 and 61 are driven at such speed that the lineal speed of the transfer roller 97 will be substantially the same asthat of the web of paper 6.V

As the web of paper is of greater width than the length of the transfer roller, only a part of the exposed surface of the paper web is coated, usually of the width of a standard newspaper page, so that as the paper islater printed on and folded in the press, it will issue therefrom with only the front page colored, the remainder of the idler roller 63 so as to support the cover above saidrollers and out of contact vtherewith.
